Siddaramaiah-led Congress administration in Karnataka is likely to announce a 24-30 percent pay hike for its 6.2 lakh government employees and pensioners in the state budget, to be presented in February, said media reports.

According to The Times of India report, the government is also planning to introduce holidays on alternate Saturdays in government offices.

The state government employees on 1 January had requested the Sixth Pay Commission to grant them a five-day working, Bangalore Mirror had reported.

"As of now, work load has increased on the present employees as about 2.80 lakh posts are lying vacant in various departments of the government. The memorandum has been submitted to the commission two months ago," Karnataka State Government Employees’ Association president BP Manjegowda was quoted as saying by Bangalore Mirror.

In October last year, the association had urged the government to announce a 30 percent percent hike in salaries, The Hindu had reported.

“A Group D employee of the State government gets 44 percent less than his counterpart with the Union government. Similarly, a Group A employee gets as much as 114 percent less. The government should put an end to the disparity,” Manjegowda was quoted as saying by The Hindu.
